🌍 Environmental Monitoring with IoT, Raspberry Pi, and Docker! 🌱

🌍 Environmental Monitoring with IoT, Raspberry Pi, and Docker! 🌱

I’m thrilled to share my latest mini project: an IoT-Based Environmental Monitoring System that combines hardware with cutting-edge open-source software technologies! πŸš€

🌟 Key Project Highlights:
πŸ“Š Real-Time Data Insights:
A DHT11 sensor on a Raspberry Pi Pico W captures temperature and humidity, providing critical environmental data.

πŸ“‘ Seamless Communication via MQTT:
Using the lightweight MQTT protocol, data flows efficiently between the Pico W and the central Raspberry Pi 5 with minimal latency.

🐳 Docker-Powered Scalability:
Services like Eclipse Mosquitto (MQTT messaging), InfluxDB (time-series storage), and Grafana (real-time visualization) are containerized with Docker for modularity and easy deployment.

βš™οΈ Automation with Node-RED:
Dynamic workflows simplify data handling, making integration across system components intuitive and efficient.

πŸ“ˆ Stunning Grafana Dashboards:
Real-time and historical data visualizations empower users to monitor trends, identify anomalies, and make informed decisions.
This open-source, scalable, and cost-effective solution showcases the power of IoT in tackling real-world environmental challenges.

πŸš€ What’s Next?
πŸ”§ Integrating multi-sensor systems for richer data collection
πŸ“² Adding real-time alerts for proactive monitoring
🧠 Exploring machine learning to enhance predictive capabilities

This project is a step toward bridging technology and sustainability, and I’m excited to learn from this experience while exploring opportunities for growth and collaboration.
